In order for me to root my phone, do I need to have kies and adb drivers installed or do I just need to install kies as it already gives me the drivers I need?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Haha, I don't know. I remove kies from any rom I use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CrowdedCranium:
To be honest, I used Kies once helping someone with a Galaxy S, and uninstalled it. The KiesAir I looked at a little closer when I first acquired this i727 SkyRocket which had it pre-installed. It would prompt IE9 with wanting Java for most functionality. No Java on my Win7/64 IE9 OOBe Compaq CQ5210F. So, other than the novelty of connecting via wifi. I really have not explored what good if any KiesAir is. My basic assumption was very little good from the look of it.:eek:

If any readers have no idea what KiesAir is? Here is a random search video from youtube (Thanks to the guy that made it).

Rom Manager

@Zinger17.

When you used Rom Manager...How did you get past the problem of only being able to D/L to SD card?......or do you have an SD card? I spent all day yesterday with Rom Manager and eventually deleted it.

Oh... and another question...were you able to D/L roms other than the ones highlighted in RM itself?

been flashing modems with stock ICS leaks, rooted for the last month...all the modems so far work off and on. I've wiped cache/dalvick prior to flashing modems, but none of them seem to be ready for "primetime" I travel from good signal areas to poor from home to work, so testing all along the way. All the new modems have significant trouble changing towers/types of connectivity and handling calls. I'm curious, am I the only one noticing this? I'm on stock ICS leak UCLE2 now with modem...reflashed seanscreamz and team waffle in attempt to find a good modem for my device. Any help for a noob is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks, now that was some usefull info. I had been hanging back over that particular possible problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
It seems that any roms based on the previous leaks with the ucalc4 and ucld2 radio eventually end up dropping data at random times and require cycling airplane mode or a reboot. With that said, I was on sky ics with base zx3 and update 9 for about a week with no data dropouts that I could tell. As far as the new leak with new radio, it's kind of early to tell what problems that has yet. It seems to have issues for people using it with the older leaks, but who knows how that will play out in the coming weeks. I switched back to gb based roms for now, mostly because I like bln and my power saving tweaks that are not yet possible with ics because of no kernel source.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] techieboy:
Big thanks!!

I was able to follow the thread and use this leak (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1652679) to take my new i727 Skyrocket from 2.3.5 to 4.0.4 (UCLE2).

I then was able to root my new ICS ROM with this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24056830&postcount=17

Note that I used the second section under {Rooting ICS LEAK} and did not install the ICS Leak referenced here because the 1st referenced thread at the top of my reply was newer and seemed to have fewer issues.

After all that fun, I then bought and unlock code so I can use my new SkyRocket on any carrier I want - BONUS! SCCHHWWING!!!!!

Somewhat confusing

Sorry but I watched a couple of your videos and you walk through the process of backing up using Titanium and flashing very quickly. For a noob like myself who's never owned an Android phone, and therefore has not had access to customizing or flashing this process still seems daunting.

I'd also like to learn more about launchers too. I noticed your home screens scroll in a cylindrical motion which is very cool and would love to know how you achieved this. I'd also like to know if you have even more elementary instructions for people like myself that may not be as savvy as others here. Remember that when moving from iOS to Android, it's a HUGE learning curve.

Thanks.

Hello everyone! I've had my S2 LTE(SGH-I727R) with Rogers for a few months now and after updating to ICS I'd like to get it rooted but I won't install any custom ROMS for now, just a "clean install" of ICS version 4.0.4 with no bloatware. I've read through the guide and it seems pretty simple but before I start, are there any changes to programs or processes for this guide to root my phone if I'm starting out on ICS (4.0.4)?

THANK YOU!

this has been a true lifesaver for me. I've rooted, and flashed different roms on my skyrocket. Out of improper practice, or plain stupidity I accidentally deleted the old rom/update I had on my phone, and the new rom I wanted to try had not copied properly, so I ended up with what I thought was a brick, but ended up being a boot loop. Having been so used to reaching recovery through my roms, I'd forgotten about the three button process. Yes, I'd slept since first recovery, ever forget, happened to me, lol. reading, and re-reading the basics is not time wasted! This thread saved me. Thanks to the original poster!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CrowdedCranium:
Heyyyy, gotta love that 727.

To shine a light in the fog, a dim light but a light. Your Android device is actually a Linux Device. The Kernel mentioned so lightly is the Linux operating system. It is down on the bottom and does the heavy lifting. Android is the UI or user interphase. This is the part you see when you power up your 727. When you look at the clock, what you see is Android asked Linux, "what time is it, ok Linux post time to screen here in this way, repeat". Etc., etc. through each and every function.

[YOUTUBE]fuco2q1zzYA[/YOUTUBE]​

Within the UI level you may have several levels. The lower levels hidden from view at the ROOT level. This is where you find things like Carrier IQ making notes of everything that happens on the UI and sending off a synapsis to "Someone". You are not allowed to view or interact or modify anything in the ROOT level. This denies you the ability to monitor or modify something.

This is the importance of "ROOTING" a device. Once Rooted you have opened a level access into a lower level of the UI. This will allow you to do things you were not previously allowed to do or even see. Such as terminate a process, remove unwanted and or outdated bloatware and crapware freeing up resources within your device.

CM10. Hmmm, as I understand the process this is a collection of Linux Kernel, and Android UI. Seperated into supported devices which determine which KERNEL to control the device hardware and the Android UI that works with that Kernel.

The benefit of changing ROMS? First off a modified more evolved and hopefully better UI. In the recent update to Android 404, the 727 found a new entry in settings under network for NFC. Ok so now we can screw around with tags. whoopie. This did not seem to add the cute stuff like passing off pictures and video through the NFC close contact. I could be wrong, I have the only NFC capable phone in my circle. Many of the other succumbed to peer pressure to get that chinese made thing that claims to have invented everything.

OK, so we have NFC. This probably had to do with changing the kernel in the newer 404 to address the available hardware in the 727. And then including in the UI (android 404) the various command structures developers will use in apps to make calls to the nfc to read, understand, process, display from the NFC "Port" or send to the NFC "Port".

I know that is about as clear as mud right? Take a look at the video, it is about someone changing the Linux KERNEL for updated drivers and more advanced file functions featured in THAT Kernel version.

Just wanted to express my thanks to this community, to the ROM developers, kind helpers, and authors of these stickied threads.

Back in the beginning of summer, I got my Skyrocket, rooted it and installed SkyICS. Loved it, until I eventually hard bricked it because I freaked out after it went into a bootloop and did some stupidness. After months of hesitating (while stock ICS slowly began to break down), I came back, read over these threads many times, and I now have a Skyrocket running Jelly Bean.

Keep up the great work! :good:
